Method of identifying a golfer wearing a golf jersey

ABSTRACT

A golf jersey comprises a shirt having a collar with at least one digit on the back of the jersey. Such a jersey can expand into a matched set that provides recognition of a golfer and provides advertisements and financial benefits to the golfer, other individuals, or an organization, without necessarily requiring third party endorsements. The matched set can be utilized to promote awareness in the public domain by way of a U-tube Video®, Facebook®, Instagram®, and Twitter®, thereby promoting a cause, like non-golf businesses or charities. The matched set can help aspiring golfers to support themselves in NGA, PGA, or LPGA events, who do not currently have necessary resources. The matched set can include a sensing device that could aid in crowd control, policing, monitoring of individuals, and tracking on and off of a golf course.

FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates to identifying a golfer. Moreparticularly, the present invention relates to identifying a golferwearing a golf jersey.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

A jersey is an item of clothing that is associated with team sportswhere the actions of each player is interconnected with the actions ofother players, like in football, baseball, basketball, and several othersports, wherein a player's jersey has no collar nor buttons to close thecollar. On the other hand, golf is a sport where the actions of eachgolfer are not typically interconnected with the actions of othergolfers, like the team sports mentioned above. For example, in the TheMasters Tournament™, which is held at the Augusta National Golf Club inAugusta, Ga. each April, each golfer's score is his own in determiningthe outcome of the tournament. In other words, The Masters is not a teamevent.

Further, professional and semi-professional golfers are individualswhose shirts are not considered to be jerseys. Instead, golf apparel ismuch more “proper” due to its rather modern history in nineteenthcentury Scotland. This continued here in the United States when golfbecame popular in the early part of the 20th century, whereprofessional, semi-professional, and official amateur golf attire wasand, even now, is expected to be “proper.”

In the sports of football, baseball, and basketball, fans are found toyell, scream, and holler, throughout a game, in order to try to cheer onthe players and also to highly influence the outcome of a game. However,in a golf match, fans of professional, semi-professional, and officialamateur golfers are expected to be quiet, especially when a golfer isabout to hit a shot or make a putt. When the professional,semi-professional, and amateur golfer does make a notable shot, applauseby fans and other observers is much more subdued and its duration issignificantly shorter than those of the team sport fans mentioned above.

U.S. Application Publication 2006-0048261 to Smith discloses an athleticgarment that includes a user-selectable front panel, with at least onefastener for coupling the panel to the front or the back of the garment.The panel has indicia associated with a sports affiliated team (seeAbstract).

U.S. Design Pat. D648,925 to Anderson teaches a very specific design ofshirt with broken line lettering that depicts indicia that forms no partof the claimed design (see line nine of Description), which is arequirement of design patents.

Specifically, the collarless football, baseball, basketball, and liketeam jerseys have a variety of indicia thereon and have their playernumbers and possibly a team's or a player's name on the back of suchjerseys. On the other hand, individual pro and semi-pro golfers, duringmatches, do not wear collarless shirts having no buttons, and theirshirts do not display their name and/or a number that identifies themspecifically, like the jerseys for football, baseball, and basketballplayers.

As such professional football, baseball, basketball, and other teamplayers are recognized by their numbers and possibly their names beingdisplayed on their jerseys. Such recognition can financially benefitsuch professional players, but the financial benefit is likely sharedwith the players' team and third parties, like Top Flight®, Titleist®,FootJoy®, Nike®, and UnderArmour®. On the other hand, a pro or semi-progolfer is not recognized on the golf course by a number or his/her namebeing displayed on his/her “proper” golf shirts and, consequently, donot financially benefit from such name and/or number recognition.Instead, golfers may only financially benefit from third partyendorsements, like Nike® and UnderArmour®

Therefore, what is sought is a golf jersey that would display featuresof existing professional football, baseball, basketball, and other sportjerseys, and yet maintain proper modicum that is expected by golfassociations and officials, like the Professional Golf Association(PGA), Ladies Professional Golf Association (LPGA), National GolfAssociation (NGA), and the United States Golf Association (USGA). Inother words, what is sought is a balance between a third partybenefitting from a golfer and the golfer himself/herself.

Consequently, such a golf jersey could help to identify the golfers ongolf courses, which are widespread on various long “holes,” duringcompetition and could provide revenue to an individual pro or semi-progolfer, who does not require a team nor has acquired third partysponsorship. In fact, average golfers, non-golfers, organizations, andothers might also benefit in financial ways or even in non-financialways from such a golf jersey.

Although not shown, it may be appreciated that the character(s) 18may be any symbol like alpha a and omega Ω, or from any other characterset(s) like Cyrillic, Arabic, or even a self-designed character set. Infact, the numbers/characters 16, 20, 20′, 20″ on the back and the frontof the golf items in FIGS. 1-19 do not have to be the same. Although notshown, third party indicia AD, like Nike® and UnderArmour® may bedisposed (e.g., sewn, silk screened, and painted) onto the front, back,sides, or even within anyone of the items illustrated within anyone ofthe FIGS. 1-19 herein. It is to be noted that the name can be, forexample, in all upper case 20, in manuscript/d'nealian hand writingstyle in upper and lower case 20′, and in cursive upper and/or lowercase 20″ style. The numbers/characters 16, 20, 20′, 20″ can be of anyfont and in any order of placement.

FIG. 19 is a second back plan view of an embodiment of a golf jersey,vest, or a blouse 190 that is compatible with the golf jersey 10 ofFIG. 1. As can be seen in FIG. 19, the numeric digit number 16 is shownwith a four (4) numeric digit numbers “1892” but is not limited toeither one or four digits. Also shown in FIG. 19 is that the number 16and the name 20′ can be placed in various places on the golf jersey orother items shown in FIGS. 1-19.

The name 20, 20′, 20″ may be disposed on the back and/or front, sides ofthe golf jersey 10, 10′, 10″ or within anyone of the items illustratedwithin anyone of the figures herein. The name 20, 20′, 20″ may be, forexample, a professional golfer's name, an organization name, anon-professional's name (e.g., even an individual who might play golfonly occasionally or the one to whom the shirt is to be worn, dedicatedto, etc.), or a business, an event, or a product name. As for shirts ingeneral, the golf jerseys 10, 10′, 10″, 30, 80, 100, 190 may havebuttons 22 to close the collar 14, or the buttons 22 may be provided allof the way down the front of the of the jersey like where item 34 ispointing in FIG. 5. In fact, item 34 could be a zipper, buttons, orVelcro or other means common in the art to close such an opening.

FIG. 19 is a second back plan view of an embodiment of a golf jersey,vest, or a blouse 190 that is compatible with the golf jersey 10 ofFIG. 1. As can be seen in FIG. 19, the numeric digit number 16 is shownwith a four (4) numeric digit number “1892” but is not limited to eitherone or four digits. Also shown in FIG. 19 is that the number 16 and name20′ can be placed in various places on the golf jersey 10.

Also shown in both FIGS. 4 and 5 are the various indicia AD (e.g.,advertisement) that may represent various advertising, sponsorships,organizations, or just personal preference indicia of any kind. Althoughshown on the sleeves, the indicia AD may be disposed anywhere on thejerseys 10′, 10″, 30, 80, 100, 190. Stripes ST, like those on footballjerseys may also be sown, screen printed, or otherwise secured to thejerseys 10′, 10″, 30, 80, 100, 190, for example on sleeves. In fact, theindicia AD and stripes ST could be disposed on any of the items in FIGS.1-18. Although the golf jerseys 10, 10′, 10″, 30, 80, 100, 190 shown inFIGS. 1-2, 4, 12, 19 having short sleeves, it can be appreciated thatthe golf jersey 10, 10″, 30, 80, 100, 190 may be embodied as golf jersey10′ having long sleeves 26, as shown in FIGS. 3 and 5.

The shape and fit of the golf jerseys may have an “athletic fit” 10,100, 190 or they may have a loose fit 10′, 10″, 30, so as to comfortablyfit the identified golfer, his/her fans, or any individuals purchasingany of these golf jerseys. The material of the golf jersey 10 maycomprise cotton, common synthetic materials (like polyester, nylon, andrayon), nano-carbon structure material, or even microfibers that areknown as “sweat whistling.” The application of the numbers 16,characters 18, names 20, 20′, 20″, indicia/adds AD, stripes ST, andindicia of any kind can be applied by a manufacturer, retailer,individual, or even by golf course personnel, so as to personallysatisfy each purchaser.

FIGS. 3-19 illustrate a matched set of associated items of apparel tocomplement the golf jerseys 10, 10′, 10″, 30, 80. However, any form ofgolf apparel following the above stated placement and patterns ofnumbers 16, 16′, 16″, characters 18, names 20, 20′, 20″, adds AD,stripes ST, and other indicia, as they apply to the instant golf jersey,are covered by the present invention. Specifically, FIG. 5 shows asweater, jacket (e.g., rain jacket, wind breaker), or coat 30. Thissweater, jacket or coat 30 can be shaped and be appointed similarly asthe front and back of jerseys 10, 10′, 10″, 190.

Shown in FIG. 10 is a sleeveless embodiment 80 of the golf jersey ofFIG. 1 or it could be a vest. This jersey or vest 80 can be shapedsimilarly and be appointed similarly on the front and back of jerseys10, 10′, 10″, 190. The sweater, jacket or coat 30 and the jerseys 10,10′, 10″, 190, vest 80, and blouse 100 might have the buttons 22, thezipper or Velcro 34, or other ways to secure a break on their fronts. Onthe other hand, the sweater, jacket or coat 30 and the jerseys 10, 10′,10″, 190 or vest 80, or blouse 100 may have no break from the collar 14down the front, where item 34 is pointing in FIG. 5. Hence, such asweater, jacket or coat 30 and the jerseys 10, 10′, 10″, 190, vest 80,or blouse 100 could be a “pull over” style with possibly a hood 170 asshown in FIG. 13. The hood 170 could just be part of or attached to anyof these items 10, 10′, 10″, 30, 80, 100, 190 as they are illustratedherein. The feminine blouse 100 may have various forms like that a fancycollar 14′ as illustrated in FIG. 12, as compared to the collar 14illustrated in FIG. 2, wherein the front neckline, as shown in FIG. 12,may extend more vertically downward past the buttons 22 and be morefashionably designed as are common in the art, than that shown in FIG.2.

FIG. 6 depicts a back view of a pair of pants, jeans, or pants in theform of leggings 40 having a number(s) 16 or characters 18, and name 20,much like that depicted in FIGS. 1, 3-5, and 19. Shown in FIG. 7 is ahat 50 which could be any hat that, which are too numerous to detail.Collectively shown in FIG. 15 are a head sweat band and a wrist band150. It may be appreciated that the head sweat band 150 could berealized as a scarf, if at one side as shown in FIG. 15 there is a slit(not shown but common in the art), thereby not being continuous like ahead band but would be capable of being draped around, for example, aperson's neck. Shown in FIG. 17 is a pull-over hood 170. The hood 170may be a separate item or be attached to various items like items 10,10′, 10″, 30, 80, 100, 190. The hood 170 would be cable of covering aportion of an individual's head. This would also apply to a visor 180 ofFIG. 18.

FIG. 8 shows a pair of shoes 60, which would include any form of shoe,golf shoe, women's high heels, flip-flops, sneakers, tennis shoe,basketball shoe, flats, pumps, sandals, boots, with strappings, etc.that would cover portions of individuals' feet, ankles, and legs. FIG. 9illustrates a belt 70 with the name 20 and number 16 (in any order andplacement), located thereon or with any indicia thereon.

Further, FIG. 11 illustrates the skirt 90 and FIG. 12 illustrates theblouse 100. FIG. 13 illustrates a view of a golf glove 110, which couldbe a single right or left golf glove, or even a pair of gloves. FIG. 14illustrates a full height sock 120 or a cut-off sock 130, each of whichwould be appreciated as a pair of socks. FIG. 15 illustrates a wristband 140 and a head band 150. For all of these associated items ofapparel 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 100, 110, 120, 130, 140, 150, 160,190, any of the numbers/characters/names 16, 18, 20, 20′, 20″ stripesST, and advertisements/indicia AD can be placed thereon. FIG. 16illustrates a back plan view of a pair of shorts, kulaks, or the like160.

As shown in FIGS. 1-18, the name 20, 20′, 20″ and/or numbers/characters16, 18 on the items 10, 10′, 10″, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 100, 110,120, 130, 140, 150, 160, 170, 180, 190 may help the golfer (a pro,semi-pro, amateur (who may not be permitted to financially benefittherefrom), occasional golfer, receiver of such items, individual, oreven an organizer) to distinguish himself, herself, or itself from othergolfers, fans, organizations, companies, or incidental individualsassociated with promotion of a specialize golf jersey 10, 10′, 10″, 30,80, 100, 190 or associated items 40, 50, 60, 70, 90, 110, 110, 120, 130,140, 150, 160, 170, 180. In a tournament, such a name 20, 20′, 20″and/or number/character 16, 18 would help to identify, from longdistances, the golfer or an organization from other golfers ororganizations.

This would be especially important in a tournament or company/departmentouting on golf courses or in other venues (that are too numerous toidentify specifically), which are widespread having long distances onthe various golf “holes,” and where crowds, trees, and other obstaclescan block views for television coverage, golf sport casters, organizers,and fans, in all directions. This service has not in the past nor is itcurrently available to the Golf Channel®, CBS®, golfers, organizations,and golf course or any tournament officials. This would be especiallyhelpful for tournament officials and judges to properly determine if agolfer (or others wearing such items 10, 10′, 10″, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70,80, 90, 100, 110, 110, 120, 130, 140, 150, 160, 170, 180, 190) was in apenalty situation or had violated a particular rule. Also, golf coursemanagement could specifically identify judges and golfers or visitorswho damage or take golf course property could be identified.

In fact, course/venue management (even fire, rescue, or police and crowdcontrol authorities) could specifically require volunteers, judges,golfers or visitors to wear any of the items 10, 10′, 10″, 30, 40, 50,60, 70, 80, 90, 100, 110, 110, 120, 130, 140, 150, 160, 170, 180, 190,so as to more specifically identify them visually, on video, or even totrack the individuals, possibly with a device 32 (see FIG. 4 which couldbe placed anywhere thereon). This device 32, for example, a GPS (globalpositioning system) device, could be attached or built into the items10, 10′, 10″, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 100, 110, 110, 120, 130, 140,150, 160, 170, 190, so as to correctly identify and track individuals.These devices could be, for example, radio frequency identificationdevice (RFID), such as that found in microchips, retinal scanner, andDNA detection device, which are among the possibilities. Suchidentifying devices 32 could be utilized in a manner like that used bythe National Animal Identification System (NAIS) used to monitoranimals.

The device 32 may or may not be made aware to the individual who iswearing the device 32. Management, police or government officials maywant to identify individuals who might do something wrong or possibly tosend medical or law enforcement personnel to an individual in need. Suchdevices 32 with a GPS tracker, could be a small tracking device sewninto or otherwise applied to the items 10, 10′, 10″, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70,80, 90, 100, 110, 110, 120, 130, 140, 150, 160, 170, 180, 190. Theycould possess two-way communication capability, like a cell phone,pager, or a walkie-talkie and be hand operated. Such devices 32 can beused for crowd control, by police, or a terrorist monitoring device bygovernment officials off-site, since golf tournaments are soft targetsfor such clandestine activities.

This monitoring does not have to be on a golf course but in any venueand anywhere within any country in the world. As such, individuals couldbe tracked (for example, by GoogleEarth or other global trackingoperations). Not only would such devices 32 on items shown in FIGS. 1-18be valuable on golf courses but in stadiums of all sorts, and for theSuper Bowl, hockey, arenas, concerts of all sorts, theaters, governmentbuildings, transportation, churches, etc. In short, all venues, wherepeople congregate and live, would be potential sites.

In fact, the items 10, 10′, 10″, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 100, 110,110, 120, 130, 140, 150, 160, 170, 180, 190 with the tracking device 32,could be provided to individuals, with or without payment and, asalready mentioned, with or without the individuals knowledge, whose use,travel, location, and tracking could be monitored by a host ofindividuals, corporation, and authorities. For example, the devicescould be used for tracking individuals for environmental and climatechange studies, for marketing information by providers, or even fortracking location of prisoners by prison authorities or individualscurrently wearing ankle bracelets who are not incarcerated.

Now, regarding the number/character 16, 18 and name 20, 20′, 20″ withthe instant golf jersey and associated items 10, 10′, 10″, 30, 40, 50,60, 70, 80, 90, 100, 110, 110, 120, 130, 140, 150, 160, 170, 180, 190,individuals would be recognized on a golf course, in tournamentsituations, in general public situations, on advertisements, and in manyother venues, where they currently would not be recognized in the past.This recognition can provide financial benefits, like royalties with orwithout third party endorsements for each golf jersey 10 purchased, to agolfer, whether the golfer is a pro, semi-pro, occasional golfer, or anindividual/organization needing resources and in further ways to becomeknown in the future. Of course, if an individual is restrictedfinancially from such benefit, like current official amateur statusindividuals, then those individuals would be excluded from benefitingtherefrom, but still may have such number/character 16, 18 and name 20,20′, 20″ recognition. These benefits are not currently available to suchgolfers, other individuals, or organizations that do not have such anumber 16, name 20, 20′, 20″, and other items ST, AD, 32 that are notdisplayed or tracked as the described herein.

An individual wearing the tracking device 32 could be paid for using theitems 10, 10′, 10″, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 100, 110, 110, 120, 130,140, 150, 160, 170, 180, 190. On the other hand, the individual wearingthe tracking device could be required to pay for using the item 10, 10′,10″, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 100, 110, 110, 120, 130, 140, 150, 160,170, 180, 190 with or without the tracking device 32.

Essentially, the items 10, 10′, 10″, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 100,110, 110, 120, 130, 140, 150, 160, 170, 190, with the tracking device32, would be a revenue stream device by providing use or non-use, by anindividual or entity associated with wearing/attaching the item 10, 10′,10″, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 100, 110, 110, 120, 130, 140, 150, 160,170, 180, 190 with or without the tracking device 32.

As mentioned above, the collective items 10, 10′, 10″, 30, 40, 50, 60,70, 80, 90, 100, 110, 110, 120, 130, 140, 150, 160, 170, 180, 190 form amatched set of apparel that has not been provided in the past. In a waythis matched set, has some similarities to the Microsoft Office®software package of Word®, Excel®, and PowerPoint® that was institutedin the 1990's, where multiple software packages were previouslyorganized and marketed as a single set. However, in the presentinvention, the matched set is organized around golf apparel in a novelway, with some unique concepts, for example, through the use of thetracking device 32 and known cyber connections that can provide safetyand financial benefits, but are not limited thereto.

The jersey with associated items 10, 10′, 10″, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80,90, 100, 110, 110, 120, 130, 140, 150, 160, 170, 180, 190 could providepromotion of golfers' skills in golf and could provide other servicesthat a golfer may be seeking. Also, the golf jersey 10 can be utilizedto promote awareness in the public domain, which might involve socialmedia, like Facebook® and Twitter®, and be posted and followed by way ofsuch cyber domains, with or without the device 32. Like the abovementioned team sports, fans can buy their favorite golfer's matched setitems 10, 10′, 10″, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 100, 110, 110, 120, 130,140, 150, 160, 170, 180, 190 and wear them to golf tour events or evennon-golf events (e.g., autograph days, pro-am events, basketball games,social events, etc.) to show support for their favorite golfer(s) orother individual/organization.

In fact, the matched set items 10, 10′, 10″, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90,100, 110, 110, 120, 130, 140, 150, 160, 170, 180, 190 can be utilized byany individual/organization who wants to promote himself, herself, oritself, for any reason, for example, an owner of a business who wishesto promote his non-golf associated business to potential customers, whomay or may not have an interest in the sport of golf at all. Also, acharity hoping to seek contributions to its cause, a group of peopleseeking to raise money for emergency surgery for a needy individual, oran individual hoping to raise awareness of a social or an environmentalissue in his/her community, could benefit from the golfer's matched setitems 10, 10′, 10″, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 100, 110, 110, 120, 130,140, 150, 160, 170, 180, 190.
